Kim's feature on Bay Area Focus with Michelle Griego

What our clients are saying...

"I have been seeing Kim for facial rejuvenation acupuncture as the stress of life and age have started to wear on my countenance..especially around the eyes. This treatment is a combination of facial and full body acupuncture so it not only stimulates and harmonizes the face directly but also addresses you as a whole, harmonizing any other imbalances that might be contributing to a less than glowing visage.

​The treatment leaves me feeling relaxed and looking alive. My eyes are more open....My face has more energy...all cornerstones of a more youthful appearance. Kim has a calming and natural way about her and she is very skilled at her needling. Her space is bright, clean and airy . It's a great experience."​​-Sarah T.

My series of acupuncture sessions with Kim were calming, revitalizing and powerfully restorative. While giving my face some TLC was the central focus of the treatments, my entire being received care throughout, a huge bonus. My face loved the care and rejuvenation (noticeable benefits!), and I felt more resilient and healthier all around. Calming music, well-placed needles, the most relaxing face light (I just wanted to curl up in there and drift off on a fluffy relaxing cloud). Ahhhh. Sooo calming.

In our first meeting and thereafter, Kim thoroughly evaluated my health and I could see her assessing how various parts of my health picture were connected. Because she works holistically, my emotional and spiritual wellbeing were part of what she was evaluating and bringing into the healing process. In addition to her many years of academic and practical training in Chinese Medicine, Kim uses her intuitive gifts as she works (also honed for many years). She gave me a valuable piece of information in an early treatment that helped me become aware of an allergic reaction I was having, and this helped me figure out how to reduce contact with the allergen (this was immensely helpful)!

At my last session I kept thinking, I wish I lived closer! This year I might just make the commute anyway. She is (and I am) worth the trip.

I originally started going to Kim for her acupuncture treatments which really helped me to heal and get through some pain management.

She is now offering a combo session that includes an intuitive reading, a healing and a mini acupuncture treatment. I found this session to be extremely helpful in gaining information about questions I had surrounding next steps in my career, relationships and general guidance regarding what is presently going on in my life. The reading was followed up by a deep and powerful healing along with some acupuncture. The effects of this session remained with me throughout the week. I feel safe and at ease trusting in Kim's ability to give me a clear and aligned reading and healing.
